Perth Glory must build for long-term success, says Tony Popovic

Incoming Perth Glory coach Tony Popovic has stressed the club mustn't look simply for short-term success and need to build the proper foundations for years to come.

Glory finished last season in eighth with Kenny Lowe ultimately replaced by Popovic as a result after a lacklustre few seasons out west.

Having made three grand finals from his five seasons in the A-League with Western Sydney Wanderers, the 44-year-old hit the ground running with the red and black but stressed Perth can't get caught up by short term goals.
